Los Angeles Truck drivers to shut down the Los Angeles harbor and the ninth largest economy in the world. May 1, 2004
Representatives of 10,000 Los Angeles port troqueros will be having a meeting this Saturday to finalize plans on shutting down the Los Angeles harbor until they win collective bargaining rights. 99% of the truck drivers are latino immigrants. Troqueros in Oakland and Houston are pledging solidarity. This is not an organized event but an accumulation of collective effort.
Saturday's meeting will be at 10am in South Gate at the park on the corner of Tweety and Atlantic. Read last Wednesday La Opinion or this Saturday's Noticero Pacifica on kpfk at 4 pm.
The recognition strike begins Friday April 30 after everyone receives their paychecks. the harbor will be closed, completely for at least a week.
fyi: The Long Beach Port Police are enforcing a no-camera policy on port property and we fear that they will do with the workers as they did with the youth and homeless a few years back on May 1. Also, the CHP has warned that they will be on full alert for any troublemakers.
The revolution will not be televised. So says the Long Beach Port Police.
Dedicated to Matthew Lamont and Ricardo Flores Magon,
solidarity,
Ernesto Jesus Nevarez
